Intro
Software Composition Analysis
Software composition analysis, or SCA, identifies software components and assesses the risk they bring into a product. It covers third-party and open-source code, including dependencies that arrive through other dependencies.
An SCA result is evidence, not a verdict. A tool can identify a component and match it with known vulnerability data. You still confirm the identity, affected version, released artifact, and risk in your environment.
